    Every pro sportsman makes a living out of the sport they are engaged in, not only boxers. Imagine what tennis would be like if Federer never played Nadal, or soccer with Brazil never playing Germany, or NBA with conference champions not facing each other in an NBA final. Think of any sport, it's the same. People watch sports for the thrills and competition, not for the business. These are sports and then business, not the other way around. Boxing is bound to lose further popularity and eventually die if they don't find a solution to this ducking and cherry picking nonsense.

    May 2nd is Mayweathers date. All his Mexican fans will be dissapointed if he does not fight on that date. Cinco de Mayweather.

    They would be more disappointed if he fight Cotto instead of Pacquiao, killing both the Pac-Floyd fight and the Cotto-Canelo fight.

    What an insecure ***** that he's locked the 2nd May date all to himself. I think a top ranking Mexican boxer is more justified in fighting on this date than a guy that has nothing to do with Mexico. What's his reasoning after all? Money? The man will make the most money ever fighting the next best fighter in boxing.
    Make the fight happen you @$$. I'm a boxing fan and want to see the two best boxers compete. I couldn't give two ****s about your egotistical **** and 0. Make it happen!

    The bottom line is Floyd can choose everything he wants. If he wants May 2nd, then that's when he'll fight. He's the money at the end of the day. I hate it, but that's the way it is.

    This is an idiotic suggestion. Now that Mayweather is finally fighting Pacquiao you expect him to back off the most important date he has been targeting for all his big fights since 2007 for others?. Alvarez vs Cotto is undercard material when compared to Mayweather vs Pacquiao.

    Times change. The US economy isn't what it use to be and is still on the mend. Boxing doesn't have a union. There are no pensions or 401K's. After a boxer has had his last fight it's on him to earn what money he can from there on out. It's easy for us to say screw the money, just fight. But we really don't have the right to say that. We aren't the ones putting are lives on the line for others enjoyment.

    Arum, is that you?

    The biggest fighter in the sport wants to fight one of the biggest money making dates of the year. This is not some random request. HE HAS BEEN FIGHTING ON THIS SAME DATE FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW! He only has a few fights left and then it's off to retirement. So all the Mexicans who are suddenly all up in arms need to deal with it.
